IF GERMANY SHOULD WIN
Robert W. Chamber hu contlnbut
ed to the National Security League's
campaign ot "Patriotism Through
Education" ft terrific ' Indictment
against Germany, entitled "If Ger
many Should Win." Mr. Chambers
has been best known as a writer of
pleasing stories, but his denunciation
of the Hun and hta methods that hav
set the whole world aghast, carry the
stamp of TRUTH. Mr. Chambers
says:
It Germany should win, the vulgar
isation ot thla ptanvt would begin;
ferocity, stupidity, vulgarity are the
three Teuton characteristics.
The latter Includes euch specific
tendencies as lying, purposeless des
truction, perversion, spiritual degen
eracy, Instinctive burtality.
Within the last Quarter of a can
tury the German virus has Infected
and poisoned not only the political and
social conscience of the world but
also the very source of Its inspira
tion, the expression ot Its beliefs.
Ideals, aspirations; and it has done
this by vulgarising art
For that stupid bwt harmless
thing which, once passed for Art
among the Huns has become incred
ibly debased, perverted, meaningless.
bestial.
LIXe something rotting it has taint
ed the world atmosphere of art. It Is
filthy, sinister, brutal. But It is the
natural expression of the barbarous
people who are responsible for it; it
naively reveals Germany and the Ger
mans through their modern literature;
architecture, sculpture and painting
and especially through their modern
music.
Vulgar, vicious, prurient, abdomin
able, utterly and damnably contempti
bleGermany and the Germans, as
revealed, explained, analyzed out of
their own swinish mouths.
Is this the culture that the civilized
world is awaiting the
demented religion ot the anti-Christ T
Oh yes, with it will come all the
known horrors of the Hun triumph
ant, wallowing to his Jowls in the
bloody pit which was Europe, men
acing America every hour and prepar
ing for her physical conquest.
This goes without saying.
R.it does civilization realise that
the King's Evil has become the Ger
man Evil, and it is this grewsome dis
ease that also threatens the world,
and it is called German Art; which is
merely and simply the self-exposure
of the German beast and of the crip
pled thing within him which be calls
his soul?
of athletic sport by sitting up on
bleacher boards and watching some
one else acquire skill and develop
his muscle.
The city ot Dayton, Ohio, worked
out very well last year the benefits
of amateur baseball. They had had
trouble In getting backing enough tor
rood professional team. So they
pndertook to organise amateur ball,
and 115.000 was secured. They form
ed 98 team Blared 496 fames, be
fore audiences aggregating 400000
people. There were 1096 players.
Over a thousand men were tnus en
couraged to keep up their athletic
development The aggregate of the
audiences must have been larger than
a team could expect to draw In a sea
son in that eUed city. Young people
were given a wholesome recreation
and sport, and encouraged to find
enjoyment at borne.
Anv town can have amateur base
ball on that basis providing sport tor
its young men. Every neighborhood
might well have its scrub games, and
every factory Industry Its nine, all
developing players for the town team.
Of course garden work takes the pre
cedence over any sport now. But plen
ty ot fellows are loafing around even
ings who would do much better to
spend their time practising for reg
ular Saturday afternoon play. The
long twilights nnder daylight saving
give plenty of otroortunlty.
The local exemption board yester
day afternoon received a call for vol
unteers from classes 9. S, and 4, and
from the limited service division ot
class 1, for men to elist in the spruce
production department. Puckers, falt
ers, chokermen, sawmill laborers and
foremen, are what are needed, and nn
til July S3 is given tc have the quota
for the state filled. Oregon Is called
upon for 150 men, and the local quota
has not been set Unless the required
number have enlisted by the 23rd the
board will induct them out ot the lim
ited service men of Class one. No
men In any of the July calls can be
released for this order. The men will
entrain on the 15th. for Vancouver
Barracks. Only those qualified In the
work will be taken, announces Miss
Orena May, deputy in charge ot the
local board.
RACE NOT TO THE SWIFT
SOLDIER'S HONOR HIGHEST
''It Is not the runner who starts off
with a udden spurt who Is most apt
to win a long race," says a Food Ad
ministration bulletin. "Rather it is he
who keeps up a steady, determined
Jog, knowing well that he is going to
be able to hold out The housewives
of America are now engaged in food
saving. It U not the woman who
practices rigid economy one week
only, to grow slack and permit waste
and extravagance the next who will
degenerate, bel p win the food race. Rather it Is
khe steady, consistent saver who will
accomplish most toward feeding the
army and the Allies.
Her enthusiasm and effort must not
lag or sag. She must not let her fam
ily grow dissatisfied with their daily
fare because the dally menus have be
come monotonous and uninviting. It
takes continued Interest to readjust
the eating habits of one's family and
keep them smiling over it One way
Is to make It a competitive game. Get
the members ot the family interested
in contributing suggestions for dishes
and desserts that will save food and
avoid waste. And it is a game that
must go on as long as the war lasts.
Even if there is a bumper crop this
season there will still he need for
saving. We should store up for the
possible leaner years ahead.
Advantages of Cold
Pack Method
By Laura Buffum
(Domestic Science Expert ot the Na
tional War Garden Commission,
Washington, D. C.)
With the best intentions and with
some degree of propriety, the Director-General
ot the Emergency Fleet
Corporation said on the Fourth of
July, addressing ship workers: "These
men. It they are ship builders, and be
long in the yards, are entitled -to
just as much recognition and just as
much honor as the brave boys on the
sea or in the trenches."
It is true that the man in the ship
yard who serves faithfully is doing
an essential part toward the winning
of the war. He is entitled to credit
rxcordingly. Bnt the time never was,
is not now, and never will be, when
the world will accord to any other
man quite so high a place of honor as
that accorded to him who meets the
foe lace to face in the death en
coujOr.By every race, and In every
age 0re warrior who goes forth to
battle has been regarded as the ideal
in heroism. Some of us are too old
to go; some are too young, too in
firm, or too necessary in other oc
cupations. There is no slightest stain
of disgrace upon any such. But none
of us who stay at'home. whatever the
reason, will claim credit or honor
equal to that which awaits the men
who have -gone to the colors on land
or sea.
Nor would such credit and honor
be accorded if claimed. No mother
will be so proud of a son, no wife so
proud of a husband, no maiden so
proud of a sweetheart, who stayed at
home, whatever the reason, as of one
who offered the supreme sacrifice
"for God and home and native land."
And the same is true of the nation
and states and the several communi
ties. In due time there will be borne
comings, with receptions, and celebra
tions and bestowal of honor The
place of honor in the procession, the
seat of honor at the festal board, the
roll of honor on the printed page, will
be by unanimous consent accorded to
those who have passed through the
lire of battle the hell of war to save
the rest of us from the hell of an
ignoble peace.
Does reason claim for others an
equal honor? Then reason falls be
fore the over-ruling decree of the hu
man heart. Guided by the elemental
emotions which in the final test con
trol the nets ot men, we shall place
the wreath of honor upon the brow
or -jpon tho grave Of him who helped
to drive the Hun from the fields of
France and banish barbarism from the
face of the earth.
NOT IN AUGUST
Documents taken from German
prisoners, supplemented by the talk
of the prisoners themselves, Beem to
confirm the idea that the Kaiser will
attempt a tremendous drive in August
which shall bring him to Paris, to
the Channel ports and to peace. Aug
gust however, furnishes a bad pre
cedent for German drives. In August,
1914, the Kaiser had the same idea;
and he was stopped at the Marne! In
1914 it was the "contemptible little
army" of the British whlcii plugged
the line and held it. This year it will
be the "small contingents" of the
American army that will do the business.
The single period cold pack method
Is a simple and sure way ot canning.
It assures a good color, texture and
flavor to the vegetable or fruit
canned. The products are not over
cooked or In a mushy state. Each
berry or piece of fruit or vegetable
Is distinct The simplicity of the
method specially commends It.
Fruits are put tip in syrups, vegeta
bles have salt and water added. The
cooking ot the product In a closed
Jar makes certain that organisms
present are killed, and the sealed Jar
prevents organisms from the air get
ting in after cooking. Directions for
cold pack canning are explicitly
given in the free canning manual
which the National War Garden Com
mission, Washington, will send you
on requests 2-cent stamp to cover
postage should be enclosed.
It Is economical. By using this
method the processing Is completed
in a single period,- savtng time, fuel
and labor. The work which needs
care Is done in the beginning, when I
the worker is fresh. It is eaiser, I
pleasanter and more interesting than
the open kettle method or the three
day intermittent method..
Thus the drudgery is taken out of
canning. We don't have to dread the
canning season the standing over a
hot stove continually, and the fatigue.
We know that we have a practical
satisfactory method.
The canning of food in small, as
well as large quantities, is an impor
tant advantage. The housewife who
understands the method will find that
It pays to put up even a single con
tainer. Thus when she has a small
surplus she should take the time
necessary to place this food In a con
tainer and store it for future use
Efforts which count the small as well
as large amounts make fr,r true
household efficiency.
Use the single period cold pack
method and have "a can of fruit, a
can of vegetables and a can of greens
for every family for every day in the
year." The Commission will gladly
answer any questions written on one
side of the paper and sent in a self
addressed stamped envelope.

monly feel that if a town can't afford

worth having any team, at alL So they

ganise baseball on an auateur basis
to take in a lot of common run of

Yet you don't get the good results
In a figurative sense the war gar
dener must go to it without gloves
and clean out the insects that infect
his vegetable plot. But blister beetles
cannot be handled "without gloves,"
or, as their name Implies, they will
produce blisters on tender bands, says
today's bulletin from the National
War Garden Commission. Beet tops
taste good to them and they will soon
make serious inroads into a patch
unless checked. Use arsenate of lead
to kill these hungry bugs. Spray
every ten days.
There are several other insects that
need looking after. The beet flea
beetles are little dark colored fellows
which eat holes in the leaves and
sometimes do a lot of injury. Since
the leaves are the lungs and stomach
of a plant any injury to the leaves
injures the plant Just that much, so
protect the beet plants by spraying
with arsenate of lead when the flea
beetles appear and repeat In ten days.
Another remedy Is to dust the
leaves with air-slacked lime, which
keeps the beetles away. If the tops
are to be used for greens, lime Is
safeet to use. In fact, it might be
risky to use for greens the leaves
which had been sprayed with arsenate
of lead; better leave them alone and
eat only the beets. Further details on
this and other points in regard to the
care of vegetables are contained In
the war garden manual which any
reader of this paper can secure by
simply writing to the National War
Garden Commission, Washington

Infernal Palace, Hades,
Dear Wllhelm:
Saturday night while I was holding
a conference of my expert despots and
murderers In the Infernal Palace to &&
vise plans for new frightfulness to
suggest to you, an amazing thing hap
pened. Catherine de Medici fainted
and fell into the arms of Abdul the
Damned, recently arrived from Turk
ey. A red stream trickling from the
celling was dropping upon the head
of the Turk.
Henry the Eighth got Catherine out.
While Jezebel was reviving her with
an asbestos fan, I hurried Caligula of
Rome to investigate.
This morning Caligula's commis
sion reported, "That the liquid which
deluged the Infernal Council Chamber
was Mod; that it was human blood
evidently from Armenia; that it was
Christian blood shed by Turks after
the Imperial German Government had
called for a holy war; that "
But here Abdul the Damned Inter
rupted the reading ot the report. "We
Turks used to do our killing by piece
meal," he protested "so that we could
have more Chrltslans left to kill an
other time, but this Germany calls for
efficiency. We have been awaiting the
word to rest, but German officers are
on hand to assist when we lag. We
cannot listen to the horrified shrieks
of the outside Christian world, but
we have watched In vain for one nod
from the kaiser, our ally and leader
In kultur, to give us some kind of ex
cuse to leave enough for a later mas
sacre, but "
Again the roof began leaking. Abdul
grew desperate. "This blood of Ar
menia can follow me to Hades" he
cried, "but I am no longer Abdul the
Damned. I am undamned. Wllhelm,
Wilhelm the Wretched, has taken this
blood of Armenia on his soul!"
Do as you please, my dear kaiser,
but you know a trap shooter wouldn't
consider it good sport to slaughter
all his birds at one time.

From Elbert Charman to His Father,
T. L, Charman.
France. April 22, 1918.
Dearest Father;
I am inclosing a clipping from the
Chicago Tribune 'European edition.
an article on the American soldier by
Daniel Poling. I am proud of Dan Pol
ing for every word he says, as It 1
literally the truth and the right view
to take of It. The cynical muckraker,
the carping critic, the fanatical fool.
and the prohibitionist who has let his
lmagniation run away with his rea
son, and In fact many well meaning
persons who have no knowledge of
the actual situation, and . prone to
call the American army and navy an
aggregation of drunkards and licent
ious no-accounts. When they hear of
a drunken soldier they Immediately
conclude the whole army Is drunk.
When they hear ot a few Immoralit
ies they advertise the existence of an
Immoral army. But you cannot call
the American army Immoral and the
American nation moral, as a whole
or call it drunken and call the nation
sober. Nowadays the army and the
nation are almost synonomous, for is
not the army made up of all classes
and conditions of Americans? In fact.
is It not the very flower and pick of
America? It is my Idea that anyone
who inconsiderately and lightly calls
the army a bunch of drunks, or worse.
Is Insulting, not only all those who
have come over here to defend the na
tion, but the nation Itself. The army
Is NOT a drunken or disorderly army.
The army Is NOT an Immoral army.
Man for man, those serving In the
ranks of the United States army are
better men than they were previous
to enlistment. They have learned to
live together with their fellows. They
have learned that there Is both author
Ity and equality. Few Are so high that
they have no superiors in the army.
None are so low that they have not
the rights of equals with those of
their ranks. The men in service have
a wider vision of affairs, thy are
thinking more, and they are more
determined that' the politics of the
world will in the future be run on a
different plane than In the past. And
each has learned to make the best
use of .his own resources. They will
be better cltlsens after the war, I
have no love for discipline, nor do I
want to stay in the army after the
war. But 1 am tried of reading the
hearsay and claptrap of the unin
formed- foamy frothings of the per
petual busybodles. We do not doubt
that things are going forward over
there with a GREAT AMERICAN
SHOVE, but nevertheless (and one
notices it more in the perspective of
distance) there is a great bluster and
blow, trumpeting and bearldlng, from
all over, which seems to precede
every accomplishment In America.
This Is noticeable especially when
compared to the French method,
which is to do It first and talk a lot
afterward. It gives one the Impres
sion that we are overworking the
press agent stuff and I do not wonder
that the price of paper grows very
high.
We had a big company show In a
hall In the nearby village last Wed
nesday evening. We Invited all the
mademoiselles and French folks, and
they surely responded. Before open
Ing time the hall was packed and the
outside too, as well as the neighbor
ing cafes. We had several French
acts, and a couple of French Profess
ional dancers. The American colored
gentlemen also offered a large report
olre, including two clog steppers, a
minstrel chorus, two fine quartets
(from different companies), a juggler
and a fire-eater. Thcso acts tickled
the French folks moHt to death. Then
we had a number ot good acts from
the company. We had built a little
stage at one end and had French and
American flags draped all over at
convenient places. The E Company
Jazz Orchestra, which, by the way, is
popular all over this section and
much In demand at functions of both
officers and enlisted men, furnished
the music. At 9:30 the show was over,
the floor cleared as well as possible,
arid we had a real American dance.
The orchestra played all the latest
music and the boys certainly enjoy
ed themselves. The fun lasted till
half'past one, due to the good nature
of the Captain, who allowed the com
pany that one night to stay out after
taps and have a good celebration. "

in a variety of ways. One important
use for fruit Juices Is in the making
of Jellies at a time of year when sugar

do the work. In this way freshly-made
jellies may be available all through
the winter.
Fruit juice may be pressed out of
fruit by means of a cider press, spec

presses; then heated in an acid-proof
kettle up to 110 degrees F, The fruit
juice may then be poured Into ordln

and handled by the same directions
as those for canning of fralt lteelf, If
sterilized as follows:
Make a cotton stopper and press
into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Sot
bottles in boiling hot water up to

fruit juice for 40 minutes at a tem

the product, press cork in top over

cork fits well, no paraffin need be
used. If a poor cork, it may be neces

way will not "flatten in taste" and
will keep fresh for future use.
